Technology Adoption Lag and Productivity Gap

0

Definition

Agent adoption of brokerage-provided technology ranked as the #3 challenge in 2024 with 55% of leaders citing it (up from 39% in 2023—a 41% increase in severity). Additionally, 35% cited 'Making sure you have the right technology' as a top-10 challenge. The problem manifests as: (1) agents resist or underutilize tools brokers invest in; (2) brokers implement technology without clear ROI demonstration; (3) systems are not user-friendly or integrated with agents' workflows; (4) training and support requirements drain resources; (5) legacy systems create inefficiencies in lead management, transaction processing, and client communication. The financial impact is severe: technology investments underperform, expected productivity gains don't materialize, agents lose efficiency advantages over independent agents, and brokers cannot demonstrate technology ROI needed to justify costs. For brokers spending $500-$2,000 per agent annually on technology, poor adoption means 30-50% of that investment yields no benefit.
